Not sure where you live, but if you live anywhere in Texas I would recommend holding him back. People start holding kids back starting in February where I live, which I do think is ridiculous. It will help in sports, socially and emotional support for him to be older.

I actually hate Amazon for shoes they never fit and honestly fall apart so fast!! We have found great deals at kohls (use the app so easy and can do curbside pickup), Marshall’s and Nordstrom rack for good brands but not outrageous prices!!!

I have a suburban currently and what made my decision was a mechanic workshop I’ve gone to forever told me suburbans are one of the large cars with the “least” amount of problems. Also I feel like they hold their value longer. Good luck!

For adults I highly recommend Michele Hake, PhD, LCSW. I found out about her through grace covenant church.

If she can’t help your kid, she can refer you to someone similar to her but focuses on kids. You can email her: Michelevhake@gmail.com

A few I enjoy following:

1. @themomculture –- she's focused on kindness etc.
2. @thetexasthings – if you workout or like to run, she's fun to follow. She was a runner so she shows running with kids, playground recaps and local places to eat good for kids.
3. . @kayleemariebaggerly - if your a working mom she is great. Talks about balancing career and family life.

We use this company but for all our laundry/organizing needs. They do have an option for just ironing, I would ask if theres flexibility on the price for just ironing.

Russian manicures are the best, I agree once you start you can't stop. Not sure where you are located, but I am in Austin and have tried a couple different places. My favorite is Moon Glow Nails, and their Russian manicure starts at $100.

Nail Art House is another one, but probably on the pricier side since I believe they were featured in Glamour.

@bluedolphin would love to hear how your experience was with this if you actually did it and it was doable with young children and the mental capacity

We follow all our pediatricians advice on vaccines and schedule with zero issues! It relieves my anxiety knowing that they are safer when out in public and around a lot of people when they are up to date!

Hi!

All of my kids friends have electric scooters and some have the bikes too. I have been scared to purchase anything electric with all the horror stories out there. Is there a way to make these safe somehow??

Send all the tips and advice please!

Stay away from Cochineal - overpriced and the food was NOT worth it! Margarets was good, but if I had to pick the best food we had on our trip it would be The Water Stop. Cedar Coffee Supply good little coffee shop in Alpine you should check out.

Frozen fruit is a big favorite over here, we like to let it thaw a little first so its soft (grapes & mangoes). Frozen cherries in greek yogurt is also delicious, when the cherries thaw the juices help sweeten up the yogurt.

I think most importantly making sure your making the choice for yourself, not anyone else. I was pregnant with twins so had a lot of excess skin post pregnancies. I am SO happy with my tummy tuck results and removing the excess skin. It took about 6 weeks for my full recovery, so definitely prepare for that and get help for the kids! When deciding on a dr make sure you see before and afters from a variety of patients and focus on what the navel looks like. I've seen a few where the belly button never looked the same post tummy tuck. I had a great surgeon and I am very happy with how mine looks.
